I installed my engine cover, fabbed up an oil catch can system just waiting on the paint to dry then install it, welded on a couple bungs for a customers car while i had the tig fired up, and removed the bed cover which is for sale in the classifieds.





Damn cast valve covers were giving me fits with oil coming through and contaminating the weld a bit. But got 'em done.

Dang it! You beat me to it! I have all the parts and have yet to do it. I just have the small 3/4" round lights though. I think it looks great!

Einstein, here, backed my ~3 month-old Truck into my Utility Trailer in our Suburban Driveway. Despite covering all front angles of the Trailer with the Black Foam Insulation I had left over from insulating my Truck A/C Output, this smooth move put a very tiny divot in the Tailgate. A few minute chips of Paint went flying.

So, I temporarily resolved this aesthetic issue with a ~$3- Bumper Sticker.

Well I finished all the performance modifications I can/want to do to my truck this weekend. Put on a new aFe charge pipe. Pics are kinda hard to see, I should have grabbed a pic before install and comparing the old one, but its much nicer. Got the UPR catch can installed, that was a breeze and looks nice. Did my plugs gapped to .030" and got my tune from 5*. Also while working on everything pulled off the front air dam.

Not "today" ... but this weekend I detailed my truck and my wife's 2013 XLT Expedition. Did them both up nice, but didn't wax either. Hopefully will get to that in the next couple of weeks.

(ofc, will post pics later ... just haven't had time yet to take any ... been way too busy to even breathe lol)

I started detailing my wife's Escape. Used a Nanoskin Autoscrub pad instead of clay and was very pleased with the results!
